Hi folks:
I was on the verge of putting my 80 Series landcruiser into the Auto Electrician to have a new wire loom fitted to fix the voltage drop problem with my truck, prior to installing some halogen headlights (currently have sealed beams). On reading through the threads here I am now aware of the "blue" Xenon lights which require less power. My question is, if I was to take this Xenon option, should I still upgrade my wiring loom for voltage drop, or will it not matter too much with these globes?
Many thanks
Jack

Jack,
By reports here, those Xenons are the go. I'd still put the heavy loom in, on off chance you may want to use heavier globes in high beam later. We have Piranha loom, and 100 watt h/beam. Also easier on the dip switch circuit, which are REAL expensive to replace.
Because the xenon are standard wattage, they should be right with std setup. Don't have the high heat output of heavier globes either. Hooroo...
